Oracle DB Connections and WWW

We are using Pro*c to link Oracle with our Intranet. Our system works fine, the only problem is that since WWW is connectionless, our system must re-connect to the database at the beginning of each page. This is producing some serious overhead. Does oracle provide any mechanism to open a connection, and allow other processes to use this connection. If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem without a major development effort?

Thanks in advance,
